In the book, seven authors document the stories of ten men and women who, in Argentina, during the civil-military dictatorship that ruled there from 1976 to 1983, worked in different ways to bring about a revolutionary break with the centuries-old structures of injustice in Latin America. This work cost them their lives. They all fell victim to the secret detention and torture camp El Vesubio, which was one of the most notorious and brutal camps of the Argentine dictatorship.
Despite solidarity initiatives in Germany, France and Austria, they could not be saved. The crimes against humanity committed against them are now being investigated by the Argentine judiciary. European governments are also participating or have participated in the proceedings and are working with the Argentine judiciary in bilateral exchanges.
